So I wear diapers pretty much every day and recently for the past week or so it’s been 24/7. I change in my bedroom and keep used diapers (bagged) in my laundry basket until I put them in the bin / trash / dumpster thing outside.But I’m just wondering, is there any room for concern regarding breathing in the smell of urine? I keep my window open and air out with a dehumidifier etc but could prolonged inhalation cause breathing problems / chest infections etc? And if so, how do I tackle this? **Edit: I have just had a quick google search and apparently urine soaked into carpets can cause mould - I have a carpet in my room and sometimes leak etc and it drips on the carpet. I rub at it to try and remove it but maybe that just pushes it in deeper?

So as a follow up to my past few posts, I've worn every day this week, not all the time (my brother heard the crinkles on the second day). But I'm likely gonna pull my mum to the side or just try to keep a casual conversation and remind her of the few accidents I've had in the past (she probably knows) and mention I'm going to wear protection as and when I feel it's needed. Over the span of this week though, I've basically half filled our outside garbage bin (apparently holds 240L) with diapers. It got emptied on Tuesday lol. So yea, I'm gonna take a few out put them in a bigger bag and take them to a local litter bin thing and try to get them all in there. But do you have a diaper pail at home? How do you go about disposal?

yea i see where you're coming from about telling your dad - however for me i've got some control issues and with all ABDL stuff aside i'd probably feel a bit more confident / anxious out in public and not being able to find a toilet so i was thinking of telling my mum (pretty sure she will already have an idea of my issues) that i'll be wearing as and when i feel it's needed, mainly out of the house - only reason for this is that i still live with my parents and don't want to feel like i'm trying to hide the fact i wear diapers or potentially being "caught" at my age (21) i suppose it is a bit less unheard of for people have problems, but i was a bedwetter up until around 12-13 years old i think, maybe a bit younger. and recently had a few accidents here and there so yea

i thought it’d be more of weakening the muscles (suppose that could “break” them long term) and slowly building up a phycological connection to just go whenever there’s a slight urge how come yours is “broken” what did you do? i know people say constant wearing and going all the time whenever you need to but yea idk just curious do you use the toilet for #2? not sure if i’m ready to start messing yet, well not all the time anyway would wetting at any urge but using the toilet for #2 mess with each other? i’m not currently wearing full 24/7 - not sure if you saw my other recent posts but basically i have a slight issue with control. my parents are away for the next week or so, i’m gonna wear as much as possible before they get back to decide whether it’s what i want only issue is my brother (12) is at home with me but goes to school so i’ve got some time free, but he hears the crinkles yesterday haha when they get back i might just sorta mention to my mum that i’m gonna be wearing protection when i feel it’s needed, mainly when i’m out of the house (she probably already knows that i have had accidents in the past so i don’t think it’d be much of a surprise to her)

Any tips or "best practices" to get my body used to wetting and in turn start dribbling more and more? I try to stay as relaxed as possible but sometimes when I stand up it sorta clenches idk. And at the moment I'm more or less doing slight floods whenever I feel the urge to go

i feel like keeping a few cloth diapers on hand would be practical, especially if the person doesn’t have the best of control and they can’t get diapers one month or something recently i bought some ABU diapers and a pack of betterdry but i need to find a cheaper alternative for when i start wearing most of the time i’m planning on wearing over the next week and when my parents get home just let my mum know that i’ve been wearing protection to help with little accidents during the day when i’m out and that i think this is the best for me have you tried using boosters or something inside cloth diapers? not sure if that would help

i feel like 2-3 HQ diapers that are potentially boosted could last all day, if you’re bowel IC or mess then that could mean more changes and yea there’s definitely more expensive things people spend money on, and if i do lose more control than i’ve already got then i’m not phased by that and quite open to it will i feel the same in 20-50 years? who knows. and as for cost i’d just have to manage my spending if needed and cut down on unnecessary purchases if it's a bad day i could end up going through 4-5 diapers, and maybe a pullup or cheap diaper when i'm getting out of the shower etc. i'm just trying to keep an open mind about it all, and going 24/7 might not be for me. it might be, who knows. i've already got some issues and i've considered going 24/7 before so i'm just gonna give it a go i have some diapers coming on monday and will wear throughout the week while my parents are away. if it's something i can see myself doing i'll likely tell my parents that i'm gonna wear protection where i feel it's needed

i see what you mean for sure, i was more or less just adding things up and not taking into consideration of regular changes to prevent rashes, improve hygiene and help odor control. however i still think coming from little to no excessive hobbies such as coffee, drugs, geting clothes every few weeks etc i think it's still quite manageable.

yea i definitely get the comfort aspect of them, i'm happy you've been able to get away from alcohol!! so would you say the rough cost of diapers (supposing it's like $4-5 per day, including wipes, cream etc) is the same as other things people spend money on? i used to work at a gas station and a guy used to come in every single day and buy at least 2 instant coffee's from the coffee machine (about $5 a day on coffee, and sometimes he got more than 2 throughout the day lol)

yea it for sure adds up, i feel like wearing when needed (away from home) would be good and not extremely costly, but i reckon the more i wear the more it’d transition into a 24/7 type of thing and the $102,000 is quite a big figure haha, didn’t look at it that far in front. i suppose it would be nice to have the majority of that available to invest depending on the amount i wear is just have to alter my spending (i don’t spend tons now anyway - don’t drink, smoke, party etc)

ooh the zip tie feature sounds pretty handy!

ah it sounds like they do their job!

yea i'd like to do a trial run or just wear as and when needed, i don't have the best control as is so wearing would benefit, mainly when i'm out and not sure if i'll be near any toilets etc i do buy all my own things, but i also still live with my parents. it's cheaper to live at home than it is to move out i'm still pondering explanations but as i've mentioned before in other posts, and if you don't already know, there's been 2 occasions where i've had full on accidents while at work because i just couldn't keep on holding it. customers kept coming in and it just happened. had to text my mum to fetch a change of clothes both times. 3-4 weeks ago as i was on my way home from somewhere i dribbled a bit and couldn't fully hold it. it wasn't as worse as the previous 2 incidents but i soaked a bit of my underwear. got home and threw the clothes straight in the washer. basically, i'm sure my parents already have some understand of my "issues" and wearing would just protect myself from any of those situations from happening again depending on what i say will give different expectations so i'm gonna have to be careful, if i say i'm getting protection for when i'm away from home, i'll likely be expected to wear whenever i'm not at home etc. and as for beach days and pools etc, i've honestly never been one for that. even when i took my brother on holiday last year, in 25 degree sunny weather (celsius) i was in a hoodie and joggers i'm just not comfortable in my own body, and along with that wearing diapers would help with not having to tuck all the time yea i can imagine that - drinking lots would hopefully dilute the pee a bit, and wearing plastic pants would hopefully help any odours that escape i heard of BOS bags, those seem pretty good. how do you dispose of diapers and how often do you wear?

so i just had a look and supremes are $87 per case (60) so that's $1.50~ per diaper. they hold around 3200ml (so i heard) i read somewhere that someone uses one abu simple (~5000ml) and two boosters for a full day, a case of 80 (including delivery) is £112, £1.5~ per diaper ($2 usd) 80 boosters would work out to be about £0.84, ($1.21 usd) so it seems it'd be slightly more cost effective to buy higher capacity diapers and use a few boosters. for funsies i just checked northshore mega max's (~6500ml) lol. would be about £1.8 ($2.57)

how often do you wear, and what would you estimate the cost of going 24/7 to be?

what sort of checks would a doctor / urologist need to do? i mean sure they’ve seen a lot and stuff but i don’t think i’d be comfortable just yet like, letting them see my body (trans) yea i know, it’s definitely something to consider for sure. i mean as for living until 80+, i may end up being incontinent then anyway, and again maybe i’d be fine (well with my current issues maybe not so much) cost is something i’ve not thought about much long term, but at the moment i’ve got quite a bit saved up (well, idk i think so in terms of age and a bit of research for others in the uk my age) anyways yea i heard of one person (serah on tumblr) saying that she uses (or used) 1 abu simple with 2 boosters inside and that’d last her pretty much all day i’d rather get diapers with good absorbency and use them thoroughly (not sure about messing just yet) to get the most out of them before changing in a world that’s mostly always evolving i would hope by the time i’m looking for a serious career job that the HR team would be open and accepting to people who wear diapers / need diapers (IC) - as long as the job gets done, then yea obviously some will have sticks up their butts for now i’m working on starting my own small business, it’s a slow process and i’m not making much, if any money but it’s something i’m working towards and i’m more happier now than i was when i had a “real” job haha see i wish i could have superhuman capabilities and foresee the future to know if this would become less fun / a chore. i’ve never been one for going out and partying, not had much of a social life and only 1 proper relationship, and that was long distance. it will be harder to find someone who is accepting of someone who’s potentially IC in the future but meh idk i could definitely wear as and when needed / i wanted but with my current issues and stuff i have a feeling with a lot of wearing i will slowly lose more and more control, if not just spiral and lose pretty much all of it yep i check out kali-is-an-abdl‘s posts tumblr every day or so to see if there’s any new ones and he’s said that retraining is pretty much not something to consider, especially for those who spiral i have a slight feeling my parents know about me and diapers already, along with my accidents and stuff i don’t think it’d be much of a shocker. however as you said, if i can pay for diapers they may just say i can pay for my own place too (which idk that would make me feel a bit shitty) yea i guess it could be partly to do with hormones and god knows what will happen when i start HRT (hormone replacement therapy) one thing i am considering for the long term is that if i do become IC or lose more control than what i’ve got now, will i still be able to get “the” surgery, like if i dribble a lot then idk. sure i could just not drink for a day or so, but even then the question remains the same idk if that would complicate things thank you for your view on it! (i’m also 21 haha, not much difference but yea). how did you get into this space, are you out etc?

i’d be using plastic backed medical diapers as well as a few AB ones here and there as they’re cute - planning on using a drylife slip xplus (meant to be the same as the plastic backed abenas) with 1 or 2 boosters my aim is to use them as intended (maybe not messing right away) until they’re full so i don’t need as many changes to me pull-ups seem useless in terms of functionality and absorbency, but they are cute maybe if i did lose more control than what i’ve got now and needed them when i got out of the shower etc or a quick trip to a shop then i could maybe wear one

[posting in here as well for extra opinions, advice and help] I'm a DL and have been playing with the thought of going 24/7 with the aim of losing control for a while.I live with parents so I can't just get up and do it. People have said to wait until I move out, and I understand that view but I don't have any other reason to move out right now. It's cheaper to live at home. My main worry is what to say or how to do it - i'd rather be able to wear whenever i wanted and not have to try to keep it a secret or feel like i might be "caught". Another concern is my brother, he's 12 and we are pretty close, i wouldn't want to make him think i'm weird etc - i don't have the best control, granted i've not had a full on accident in a while (last time i remember was about 4-5 months ago or something like that. i must have had too much to drink at work and i was the only one there serving customers, people kept coming and i soaked a great majority of my underwear (not diapers) and leggings. had to text my mum and get her to bring me a change of clothes.-- another instance of this was about 3-4 weeks ago, i was coming home from somewhere and walked home. i needed the toilet and slowly dribbed until i got home, not a full on accident but wasn't ideal. got in and threw my clothes in the washer- i'm trans (mtf) so wearing diapers kind of means i don't have to tuck if that makes sense? i even recall my dad joking about wearing diapers to have an even bulge (not sure if he'd remember if i brought that up) - not sure if he/they knew about my thing for diapers back then. would make sense for him to just say that if they did- i do get some sexual gratification from it but i'd assume once i started wearing more often that'd likely become less and less- and not sure if it's relevant but i wet the bed when i was like 8-11 or so - one time i was reading about DL stuff and she conveniently came into the room as i scrolled and a pic of someone in diapers appeared yay so i swiped up as fast as i could to go to the home screen (nothing got mentioned, but if she didn't notice it was extremely close)So yea, what do you think? i'd rather just be able to wear and not worry about trying to hide it or being "caught".If i wear lots and do lose control quickly (spiral i guess) then i'll have to take it from there. apparently i may be prone to spiralling due to bed wetting near my teen years, accidents as an adult and that the thought of going 24/7 and losing control is like, eh whatever. it's kinda what i'm going for. But as i've not worn in a while i don't want to be sort of "expected" to wear all the time, depending on how i word it, that may be the case. oh mum, i've had accidents while i'm out so i've bought protection. then from that point forward, whenever i go out, she'd expect me to be wearing. same for wearing at night for accident prevention. I'd rather be able to ease my way into it, I obviously have some issues and could benefit from wearing imo Thank you everyone ❤️

i mean in terms of me being trans he's very accepting and supportive, when he talks to his friend i'm always sister, she/her etc. my mum has even said that he's called me megan before, which even my parents struggle with and i usually get called meg etc it may be weird for him but idk ?

yea i know it's hard to forsee a reaction; even for me i've got no idea how she'll react. i mean, she's got to have realised i've got some issues. 1: texting for a change of clothes at work 2: coming home and putting my clothes i were wearing in the washer 3: literally asking me if i had an accident when i went to wash my sheets plus a long while ago my dad jokingly brought up diapers in relation to tucking (trans mtf) and said it would give an even bulge / padding. not sure if he'd remember that if i brought it up but yea depending on what i say will yield different expectations too, if i say i've been wetting the bed and use diapers for night time protection i'd be expected to wear every single night etc and yea the up front cost stuff makes sense. my only worry is that i've got a younger brother (12) and we're pretty close but i don't want him to think any of this is weird or lose our relationship

that's not too bad to be fair, maybe be over generous with it and say $230-50. including supplies like cream, powder, wipes etc

ah i'm not sure about getting it covered by insurance (i'm from the uk - and i likely wouldn't unless i actually became IC) but yea i'd be paying out of pocket too i'd just like to be able to wear and not have to worry about hiding things to an extreme extent or being "caught" i guess i'm trans and my parents have slowly accepted that, i even recall my dad joking about wearing diapers to have an even bulge (not sure if he'd remember if i brought that up) - not sure if he/they knew about my thing for diapers back then. would make sense for him to just say that if they did i feel like i could benefit from wearing during the day, maybe not 24/7 but just out and about. no more texting mum to bring a change of clothes (surely she had realized what happened?) my only worry is hiding it / being "caught" by my parents which is why i want to "come out" - people have said that i should wait until i move out, which i understand, but living at home is cheaper and i have no real reason to get my own place atm

what's the average weekly/monthly cost of going 24/7? i'm 21 and buy all my own things, never ask my parents to buy me anything being 24/7 for the long run may not be for me but idk without wearing and i don't feel like moving out just to wear and not worry about anything. living at home is cheaper and i have no other reason to move out right now

i mean i'm sure my mum knows i've got some sort of a "problem" - coming home and putting clothes in the washer, asking her to fetch a change of clothes. even her asking if i had an accident when i washed my bedding so do you still think if she notices i'm wearing diapers, it'd be weird for me to not wear? like, i've not worn a diaper for a long while so idk and yea it'd be my own money of course if they were to ask what sort of things do you think i should mention for it to be mostly accepted

Just wondering if anyone has ever been outed and in turn got socially locked into wearing diapers? Basically people are expecting you to be diapered, so what's weird is you not wearing diapers. I'm a DL and have been playing with the thought of going 24/7 with the aim of losing control for a while.However I still live with parents so it's not like I can just get up and do it. One option I've considered is starting to wash my bedding multiple times a week (as if i've had an accident) - a few weeks ago I just naturally washed my bedding and my mum literally asked if I had an accident so I don't think it would be much of a shock. My main worry is just what to say or how to do it - i'd rather be able to wear whenever i wanted and not have to try to keep it a secret or feel like i might be "caught". another concern is my brother, he's 12 and we are pretty close, i wouldn't want to make him think i'm weird etc - i don't have the best control, granted i've not had a full on accident in a while (last time i remember was about 4-5 months ago or something like that. i must have had too much to drink at work and i was the only one there serving customers, people kept coming and i soaked a great majority of my underwear (not diapers) and leggings. had to text my mum and get her to bring me a change of clothes.-- another instance of this was about 3-4 weeks ago, i was coming home from somewhere and walked home. i needed the toilet and slowly dribbed until i got home, not a full on accident but wasn't ideal. got in and threw my clothes in the washer- i'm trans (mtf) so wearing diapers kind of means i don't have to tuck if that makes sense?- i do get some sexual gratification from it but i'd say once i started wearing more often that'd likely become less and less- and not sure if it's relevant but i wet the bed when i was like 8-11 or soso yea, what do you think?i'd rather just be able to wear and not worry about trying to hide it or being "caught".if i wear lots and do lose control then i'll have to take it from there. as long as i'm not prone to spiralling then i should be okay, and if i am, i'll have to try to be on high alert of any signs of losing control
